LEPIDOPTERA FROM ADEN AND THE TRANSVAAL. » 



I took there first ; one specimen subsequently at Modderfontein. 

 It may be imagined with what rekictance I left this happy 

 hunting-ground at the end of my two hours ! The semi-tropical 

 "Bush Veld" would well repay the collector who had time to 

 explore it ; but it was not my good fortune to hunt there again. 



Besides those mentioned in List B, I had the good luck to 

 take several undescribed moths (at Modderfontein).
